Our Story

Acclaimed Canadian folk - pop singer songwriters Kyra and Tully launched their fifth studio release, TIME, in November 2020.

The full length album's 11 fully produced original songs span more than two decades of the couple's story, from before the two met, to songs written more recently. The songs are filled with heartfelt lyrics and voices with layers of harmonies woven in orchestral instrumentation. The lyrics explore everything from the joys and challenges of parenting, to the delights of nature, love and an acknowledged shared humanity.

TIME was recorded at Leopard Frog Studio, in Battersea, Ontario by co-producer, engineer and musician Chris Coleman (Nightsun, Nuvu Music), who also did some of the mixing at his studio in Iqaluit, Nunavut. From May to November, 2019, Kyra and Tully and their stellar musical friends continued to add to the album, working on it slowly in between stays in a cabin nestled in the woods (100-acre bio dynamic farm); trips to a remote beach, and travels in and around Europe.

A transformative musical journey, TIME is inspired by the changing weather of the seasons and in our own selves, exploring inner and outer landscapes. It is at once self-reflective and observing of the wider world. With this album, both Kyra and Tully seek to share the gift of their music and its presents all through TIME.

Stream the 2nd Official Single from Time: Canada

Stream ‘Canada‘, the 2nd official single from our upcoming album Time. A little bit about the writing of ‘Canada’ from Tully:

“Canada’ is an old song idea of mine, with recently tweaked lyrics. It’s about the big ‘Hemlock Soup’ tour in the mid 1990’s. With 5 vehicles and a bunch of travelling friends going west, (a side note to the wise, don’t travel in one vehicle and have your sleeping bag in another) I had a cold night spent in a van in Banff in late October. Just thinking now maybe I should have included that part in the song.”

About Flowers Wild from Kyra:

“I wrote Flowers Wild during a life changing experience the first time we helped to take care of our friends animals, 4 cows, 25 or so chickens, 12 goats, a bunch of sheep, 4 white ducks, a great pyrenees mountain dog and their cat, as well as our own dear dog Sodo a golden labrador retriever (since passed) at their 100 acre bio dynamic farm for two weeks over March break.

The farm was still in the grasp of winter when we arrived, frozen solid, though it very quickly changed to a major spring melt down and kept us busy while engaging our special needs son. We had cows and goats breaking out of the fence with the green grass calling, a chicken passed in our care. A massive vegetable garden was covered in (soon melting) snow- lay on one side of the main house- and the barn where the animals lived- on the other. At the time I was (am still) struck by the synchronicity of the relationship between the vegetables and the animals, us humans in the middle, how (in my mind) we all need each other to exist in a healthy and balanced way. I wrote and completed Flowers Wild song during this animal care giving time, the lyrics are essentially a collection of ideas and feelings captured during our stay and cut and pasted together from a little journal I had written in. The title Flowers Wild actually came from a brainstorming name session with our singer song writer pal Tim Sheffield (see pic at studio recording with us for TIME in June 2019 for a folk collective we’ve been dreaming about together we named ‘Flowers Wild-Music for the Young at Heart Folk Collective and the title of our dream collective was part of the inspiration for the song Flowers Wild from the album TIME.

New record coming soon…
